“Bansho–organized board-writing–is a powerful, yet little-known, secret of Japanese education. Bansho makes student thinking visible by creating a shared record of learning during a lesson, enabling students to revisit classmates’ ideas and models and build powerful new insights. Learn about bansho in mathematics, science, language arts, and beyond. Leading practitioners from around the world bring bansho to life through examples, diagrams and their personal stories of change in practice.”Catherine Lewis, Past President of World Association of Lesson Studies“This publication reaffirms the significance of board writing as a fundamental teaching skill. In today's digital age, effective board writing enhances student engagement, showcases their thinking processes, and provides positive reinforcement. Through diverse examples from around the world, this book demonstrates how effective board writing enriches teaching practices and fosters an interactive classroom environment. A must-read for educators! “Veronica Yau, Principal of Fanling Kau Yan College, China Hong Kong
